Terence Eden recently highlighted a fascinating real life example of a consumer brand that’s only got eyes for iPhone. Debenhams is a chain of 153 department stores in the UK. They’re hugely popular and serve a wide variety of demographics. They’re for everyone from your grandmother to your 14 year old niece, right? Which is [...]

InMobi hits 16bn impressions and launches in the States
It was, I think, over two years ago when I met Anne Frisbie who had just started working for InMobi (she runs their US operations). I think we were in Las Vegas at CTIA or somewhere similar. I remember her explaining that InMobi was a rising star in the mobile advertising marketplace at a time [...]

Is Apple about to bake advertising into the iPhone SDK?
o2′s James Parton picked up this Mobile Entertainment story, Apple to integrate advertising into iPhone SDK.

How’s your iPhone advertising performing?
Are any MIR readers actively advertising products and services on the iPhone platform? I’m asking because I saw this Tweet from Mark Curtis, top chap at mobile dating/flirting site, Flirtomatic: We bought iPhone advertising for the first time yesterday: very impressive results for first campaign…..clearly volume in the UK alone.. I’m keen to hear more [...]
Youth: Text in Knife Crime Concerns
So I’m back to school this week; and during my free lessons, I often find myself aimlessly wandering around. I probably shouldn’t be, as I have mountains of work to do, but it’s certainly more fun. But it turns out my aimless journeys around my over-crowded school can come in handy… And I came across [...]
Nokia’s new Benches ‘Come with Music’
In an effort to promote its highly touted ‘Comes with Music‘ service, Nokia, the leading handset manufacturer has now started placing special benches at various public places in the UK. Now, before you start wondering what’s with Nokia and the Benches, let me elaborate. The benches are actually a clever advertising medium to promote their [...]
Where’s the mobile awareness gone?
Wow! Doesn’t time just fly by? I’ve been away for a month – organising myself with school and the various activities I’m involved in, and it feels like forever! Never fear though, because now I’m back. Well, for once a week that is! Now school’s are a hostile environment (well, at least mine is), and [...]
